Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Delta Electronics documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating requirements match your manufacturing process specifications. Cross-reference package dimensions and electrical tolerances with your schematic before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-inductance value near 68 nH is required for high-frequency applications. Ensure the 500 mA current rating meets circuit load demands and that the 400 mΩ DCR aligns with efficiency targets. Verify that the unshielded design does not interfere with nearby sensitive components due to potential magnetic field emission.
